Offers solid data quality functions and continues to evolve with opportunities in AI integration
Precisely Trillium's best features include being a very comprehensive solution in terms of data quality. There are different types of data quality tools, and what Infogix had before being bought by Precisely focused more on reconciliation, whereas Precisely Trillium actually focused on correcting errors within the data set itself. This is a different perspective on data quality. Some of the functions and features that Infogix did in their data quality solution are different than the functions and features that Precisely Trillium did. The data profiling feature of Precisely Trillium helps improve data integrity for certain clients by emphasizing the principle of bad data in, bad data out. It's important to have a data quality tool to ensure that your data is good because any calculations and business decisions that are made on this data are only as good as the data itself. It's extremely important to have good quality data, and Precisely Trillium serves to ensure the data quality.

The best features I appreciate about SAS Data Management tool are that it's easy to create the flows and schedule data, and the tables are not too big, making it easy to control the ETL process, including user access which is also easy to manage in SAS. The data integration tools with SAS Data Management were quite good because they allowed me to do all lineage, to manage and see all the variables, find the libraries where the data is, and understand the data in just one tool. Offering another development environment combining code and predefined objects, where I could just drag and drop to achieve what I needed, although some objects were not too good, but some were effective. The metadata management feature of SAS Data Management helps a lot; creating your data marts or data lake with good naming conventions, library conventions, and so on is very important because it allows easy queries to find the whole structure, though I think metadata governance also depends on first definitions, not only on the tool. SAS Data Management is very good for data governance; for me, it was the best tool I worked with in data management, although I don't have too much experience with others, and it truly helped a lot.
